Restore Issue: Volume Exclusive Access is required...

Hi Everybody,

I hope someone can help me through this issue.

I am trying to restore to a WD HDD.

The process is fine, up to about 66% completed, then displays a message that "Volume exclusive access is required to complete the operation."

For me, this is a show stopper.

• The backup data-files were created from the same HDD that I wish to restore to.

• I did verify the archive successfully.

• I'm confused because I have successfully used Paragon before... on this Lap Top anyway without that "Access" issue. I have never seen this issue before.

Would someone be kind enough to help me wade through these weeds? I have copies of all my program data, but reinstalling those programs (finding access keys to run them) is going to be a heart breaker.

How can I grant Volume Exclusive Access to Paragon?

Many thanks,
Paul

 

absolutely you get exclusive access to all drives, when boot from a rescue disk

 

Thanks Fireworker,

I would have thought so myself, but that's the error I get running the rescue disk...

I can't imagine why, but I still need a "fix" for that.

Thanks, though
Paul

 

I call on everyone speaking English, in this thread

SIW2, seekforever, Robin A., wptski, etc? attend, your help is needed!

 

What security suite have you installed?some will only allow restoring of files/partitions with PC in safe mode,the restore procedure seems to be considered as a malware activity by some

 

It seems that the problem occurs when working from a boot medium, not clear which one.
